CDL Challengers player suspended for 3 months after viciously threatening opponent CDLThe Call of Duty League\u2019s Challengers amateur circuit has suspended player Bryan \u2018Jimbo\u2019 Sabman for three-months after he was recorded threatening another competitor in a post-game lobby by saying he was going to \u201cshoot him in the head.\u201d After last week\u2019s Challengers match between amateur team Fantastic Four and Built By Gamers, Jimbo broke the league\u2019s policy on player conduct by threatening former Paris Legion pro Matthew \u2018KiSMET\u2019 Tinsley. BBL beat Fantastic 4 in the CDC Elite North America Stage 2 Qualifier on March 13, prompting Jimbo to lash out at KiSMET: \u201cKeep talking like that, you\u2019re going to get shot in the head.\u201d Challengers player ‘Jimbo’ has been suspended by the CDL for three months for threatening @KiSMET6_ after a match.

The CDL deemed that Jimbo\u2019s comment violated Rule 9.1.3 of the Challengers handbook, which requires players to \u201csettle their differences in a respectful manner and without resort to violence, threats, or intimidation (physical or non-physical).\u201d Call of Duty esports is famous for its wealth of trash-talkers and outspoken personalities but the league has set rules so that conversations don\u2019t spiral into threats of violence. The earliest Jimbo will be eligible to return to Challengers is in June, somewhere between Stage 4 and Stage 5 of the Elite Series. For now, former LA Guerrillas pro Jacob \u2018Decemate\u2019 Cato will be replacing him on the Fantastic 4 roster, according to CDL news outlet @INTELCallofDuty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
